Mary Ann {listens to whistles and giggles happily). Wal, ef 
it ain't Jabe. I jest knowed he'd be around some time thi9 
mornin', I'm right down glad ter see him but I calc'late ter 
keep him waitin' a spell. Don't dew ter show these men ye be 
tew anxious ter see 'em. {Whistle heard again outside) Laws, 
I ain't got the heart to torment him any longer, I'll jest hev tew 
answer. {Goes to window and leans out) Naow, yew jest get 
erlong with yerself, Jabe Dewberry. Ain't ye got any work of 
your own ter dew 'thout pesterin' an' hinderin' them as hev? — 

Wal, ain't I alius busy- Huh, praise be I a'n't as lazy as some 

folks be, if I was I declare to man I'd 1 dunno — I ain't got 

no time ter waste a-goin' ter sociables. Tain't that, Jabe, hon- 
est. I'd jest as lieve go with yew as anybody but — All right, I 
s'pose I'll go. — Oh, go on with your lallygaggin' — Good-bye, 
Jabe. {Blows a kiss and stands looking out of window) 

Mrs. Whitman {off stage). Mary Ann! Mary Ann!

ENTER d. l. Mrs. Whitman. 

Mrs. Whitman. Mary Ann! Oh, there yew are. For the

land's sakes, what be yew adorn* with them pertaters in Here? 
IWhy ain't they been peeled long ago? {Glances out of win- 
dow) What's that Jabe Dewberry a-doin' in our yard? Never 
see a good-for-naught yet that didn't have time ter spare a-hang- 
ing raound my premises. Wal, go peel your pertaties, Mary 
Ann. 

Mary Ann. Yas'm. [EXIT d. l. 

Mrs. Whitman {sitting in rocking-chair and taking out a 
letter) Heaven help me! What be I agoin' to do. (Rocks) 

ENTER d. r. Estelle. 

Estelle. Ma wants to know if you will lend her a cup of 
sugar, she's all out, and she wants to make a cake like the recipe 
Mrs. Smith gave her that lives down town because it only takes 
one egg an' its cheap, so she's going to make one for the church 
supper to-night. See Margaret got a letter from her beau, so 
did I, but ma don't know it, did 

Mrs. Whitman. Mercy sakes, Estelle! Wal, go on out into 
the kitchen an' Mary Ann '11 give yew some sweetnin'. (EXIT 
d. l. Estelle) Some folks is bound tew find out everythin'. I 
hope her ma won't get wind o' this. (Reads) 

"Dear Madam: 

We regret to inform you that unless the overdue interest on 
the mortgage held upon your farm by H. G. Dunn is paid within 
30 days, steps will be taken to foreclose. 

Yours truly, 

H. G. Dunn & Co." 

What be I a-going tew dew ! What kin I dew ! Well, I won't 
tell Margaret yet. What would be the use ? An' I'll hev tew try 
an' raise the money, someway. 

Margaret (off stage). Oh, Mary Ann, what do I know about 
you and Jabe Dewberry. Where's mother? (ENTER d. l. 
Margaret) Oh, mother. 

Mrs. Whitman. Yes, Margaret? 

Margaret. Oh, the mail's come. Anything for me? 

Mrs. Whitman. Yes, on the table. 

Margaret. I see. (Takes letter) Why, mother, you're all 
of a tremble. What's the matter? 

Mrs. Whitman. Nothin', Margaret, I've been ironin' by 
the stove an' got het up some. 



Mary Ann. 5 

Margaret. You'd ought to be more careful. (Opens letter^ 
Oh, mother, good news! 

Mrs. Whitman. Glad tew hear that, what is it? 

Margaret (sits on stool at mother's feet). Mother, listen, 
I'm going to tell you something very important. I — well, 
mother — well — John has asked me to marry him and I have said 
I would. We want to get married in June, just a little home 
wedding. Mother — and John and I tho't we really need a man 
here on the farm — things are going to rack and ruin — we'd 
come back here to live, and pay our share of expenses. Of 
course, we haven't consulted you as we should, but our plans 
have been so indefinite and I knew you wanted me with you and 
John says 

Mrs. Whitman. Don't plan too much, dearie, for your plans 
may get a spill. 

Margaret. Why, mother, what do you mean? 

Mrs. Whitman. Just what I say. I don't want you to start 
in building castles in Spain that mebbe — will — will be — er— 
mortgaged an' foreclosed on. 

Margaret (standing up). Why, mother, what a queer ex- 
pression. Are you joking? No, I can see you're not. Mother, 
you don't want me to give up John? 

Mrs. Whitman. Mebbe yew'd better. 

Margaret. Mother — I can't — I won't. If you don't want us 
here, we'll go somewhere else, but I can't give — (Knock heard 
at d. r.) 

Mrs. Whitman. Sh— here comes that meddlesome busybody 
of a Mrs. Larkin. (Mrs. Whitman goes to d. r.) Come in, 
Mrs. Larkin, fine day. 

ENTER d. r. Mrs. Larkin, carrying work-bag. 

Mrs. Larkin (sits in other rocking-chair and takes out fancy 
work). Yes, for them as likes sech dry weather, but our spring 
Ss getting low. The Jones' spring is all dried up an' they're 
a luggin' water. You kin see the whole family go streakin' by 
one after t'other. Say, I see yew got a letter from Utica this 
mornin'. Good news, I hope. Seems tho' bad news was a pilin' 
in on everybody. I hear Jabe Dewberry is a sparkin' your Mary 
Ann. Yew don't heve much luck keepin' a girl, dew yew ! Mercy 
me, I sh'd think yew'd get one of these here indignant widows 
or an ol' maid so humbly she'd scare the crows away 'sted of 
one of these here likely young gals the fellers are alius trailin*. 
How many does this make yew've hed? 



Q Mary Ann. 

Mrs. Whitman. Only five. 

Mrs. Larkin. Enough I sh'd say. (Running to window) Ef 
there ain't Jabe Dewberry leanin' over your stone wall talkin' to 
Mary Ann naow. I sh'd think yew'd put a stop to it. 

Mrs. Whitman. Mary Ann might do worse. Jabe's got 
money. 

Mrs. Larkin. Only he's too stingy tew spend it. Well, I 
must be runnin' on. (Goes to d. r., then comes back) Yew 
said that letter wan't nothin' important, didn't yew? (Goes to 
door, but returns) Oh, Estelle said Margaret got a letter from 
her beau this mornin', when 's she goin' tew git merried? 

Mrs. Whitman. Mebbe soon, mebbe not fer a long time, 
mebbe never. 

Mrs. Larkin. Wal, I snum, your plans be kind o' indefinite, 
ben't they? Wal, I must be agoin'. (Goes to d. r. and comes 
back) By the way 

ENTER r. d. Estelle, breathless. 

Estelle (runs in to her mother). Oh, excuse me, ma. The 
doctor just drove into old Mrs. Bates' yard 

Mrs. Larkin. That so? I must be goin', Mrs. Whitman, an' 
Estelle, we might run in on our way back hum an' see if there's 
anything we kin do. Didn't find out what was the matter, did 
yew? (Estelle, still breathless, shakes her head) We'll stop 
in. One can's be too neighborly. 

[EXEUNT d. r. Mrs. Larkin and Estelle, hurriedly. 

Mrs. Whitman. How some folks dew love tew find out 
other folks' business. Mary Ann, Mary Ann — (ENTER d. l. 
'Mary Ann) Got them pertaters peeled yet, Mary Ann? 

Mary Ann. Yas'm. 

Mrs. Whitman. It's a wonder. Now I'll git the meat into 
the oven. [EXIT d. l. 

ENTER d. r. Margaret. Her eyes are red. 

Mary Ann. Margaret, be yew a-cryin'? 

Margaret. I don't know as it's any of your affairs, Mary 
Ann Barrowby, but if you must know, I am. 

Mary Ann (aside). Whee, but we're touchy. (Aloud) I 
dunno as I want ter pry int' your affairs, but I kind a felt sorry 
to see yew a-feelin' blue when your ma looks 'sif every minute 
fwas a goin" tew be her next an' I got troubles of my own tew. 

Margaret. Do you know what's the matter with mother t 



Mary Ann. 7 

Mary Ann. No, I don't. 

Margaret (crying). I just hate everybody and everything. 
'And I was going to be so happy, too. (Sits) 

Mary Ann (patting her shoulder). There, Margaret, don't 
cry. Ez the poet sez " The course of trew love hez got consider- 
able corduroy in it." But there, everything will come out all 
right. 

Margaret (rising). I hope so, Mary Ann, but I doubt it. 

[EXIT d. r. 

Mary Ann. Trouble an' lots of it — an' more. I'm going to 
find out what it is. (Picks up letter) Wonder what this is. 
From Utica, to Mrs. Whitman. Do I dast read it, I wonder. 
I hope it ain't a sin fer I'm a-goin' tew. (Reads letter) The 
poor old soul. Ain't that a shame now — I'd like to help her all 
the sarnie. I tell yew what I'll dew. I'll tell Jabe, an' if any- 
body kin fix it up, it's that Jabe Dewberry. [EXIT d. l. 

ENTER d. r. Estelle, with hat, coat and valise. Slams door 
and trips over valise. 

Estelle. Oh, bother that valise, it's everlastingly tripping 
me up. (Kicks it) Take that, you old elephant. Wonder 
where Margaret is. (ENTER d. l. Mary Ann) Mary Ann, 
where's Margaret? 

Mary Ann. Oh, I dunno, raound here someheres. Want ter 
see her fer anything special? She ain't feeling much like com- 
pany. 

Estelle. Since when have I been company for Margaret to 
receive, but if you would be so kind and condescending as to 
ask her ladyship to come down off her high horse long enough to 
give me ten minutes of her valuable time I should be much 
obliged. (Bows to Mary Ann) 

Mary Ann. All right, if that's the way yew feel about it. 
(Aside) My, that girl gets more pert, every day. She's get- 
ting jest like her ma. [EXIT d. l. 

Estelle (at window). Here comes Margaret now. For the 
love of liberty what has she got a valise for? Yoo-ooh, Mar- 
garet. (Waves and beckons) 

ENTER d. r. Margaret, carrying valise. 

Margaret. Hello, Estelle, glad to see you. 

Estelle (hauling out valise). I've come bag and baggage. 

Margaret. Mercy, what for? (Sits on couch) 

Estelle (slamming down valise). I simply can't stand ma's 



8 Mary Ann. 

ways any longer. (Begins to cry) You know I correspond! 
with Teddy. All along I've kind of thought ma read my letters 
and this morning I watched her, and she steamed one open over 
the tea-kettle, read it, and sealed it up again. So I just packed 
up and came over here. But where are you going? 

Margaret (pulling Estelle down beside her on the couch). 
Promise you won't tell. 

Estelle. Hope to die. 

Margaret. Well, as mother won't give her consent to my 
marriage I'm going to elope. 

Estelle (hugging Margaret). That's just too romantic for 
words. Come on. I'll help you. Bound for the station ? 

Margaret. Yes. 

Estelle. I'll walk down with you. 

[EXIT d. r. Margaret and Estelle. 

ENTER d. l. Mrs. Whitman and Mrs. Larkin. 

Mrs. Whitman. No, I ain't seen Estelle. Sit down, dew. 
Mind if I dew my mendin' ? What made you think she was over 
here? 

Mrs. Larkin. Dunno where else she could be. Why, there's 
her valise, as I'm a livin' sinner. 

Mrs. Whitman. Why, so it is. Naow, ain't that odd. She 
and Margaret are probably off somewhere. They'll turn up 
come meal-time. 

Mrs. Larkin. I s'pose so. Well, good-bye. [EXIT d. r. 

Mrs. Whitman. I've no heart for anything. Oh Asa — Asa, 
why did the Lord have tew take yew when I needed yew so, I 
can't bear tew see our farm — our farm, Asa, yours and mine, 
where we were so happy so many years, go to strangers. What 
will I do, (Breaks down) what will I do! 

ENTER d. l. Mary Ann. 

Mary Ann. Got somethin' tew say tew yew, ma'am, an' ez it's 
right long I guess I'll hev a cheer. (Sits) Ye see, Mrs. Whit- 
man, ma'am, I heard, never mind haow, ez yew was a-goin' ter 
be foreclosed on, so I went tew Jabe — Jabe he wants I should 
marry him come next Spring. An' I sez, sez I — Mrs. Whitman, 
she's been good tew me, sez I, an' give me a home when I didn't 
hev no other, sez I, an' she's larnt me all I know an' she's been 
kind tew me, sez I, when there warn't another living soul cared 
whether I lived or died. I ain't got no learnin', sez I, an' I 






Mary Ann. 9 

don't come from the most high-toned fambly what there is, sez 
I, but I know this much, sez I, that it ain't everybody that would 
take an orphant girl right into their home, sez I — and be good 
tew 'em, an' naow, Jabe Dewberry, I sez, sez I, if yew want me, 
yew kin jest help Mrs. Whitman aout. 

Mrs. Whitman. Why, Mary Ann! 

Mary Ann. Wal, Jabe, he's tight, but he's got a good heart, 
Jabe hez, an' he'll loan yew the money, he sez. An' when 
Margaret gets married and John gets ter running the farm yew 
kin pay him back as yew are able. An' me an Jabe's goin' 
tew get married in April, so I'll hev tew give yew notice. Naow, 
don't say one word, Mrs. Whitman, for it's no more than you'd 
dew yourself. [EXIT d. l., hurriedly. 

Mrs. Whitman. Wal, I snum. Who'd a thought— I don't 
iknow what — where is Margaret. Naow, I kin tell her every- 
thin' an' she'll understand why I've done as I hev done — about 
her an' John an' oh, if there are angels on this earth they are 
Jabe Dewberry and Mary Ann Barrowby. [EXIT d. l. 

ENTER d. l. Mrs. Larkin. 

Mrs. Larkin. Where can Estelle be— I am so worried I don't 
know what tew dew. Mary Ann, Mary Ann! 

ENTER d. l. Mary Ann. 

Mary Ann. Yas'm. 

Mrs. Larkin. Seen Estelle? 

Mary Ann. Nope. 

Mrs. Larkin. Dearie me — Where can she hev gone? What 
will her pa say? All this fuss over a fool letter there wan't 
nothin' in anyhow, an' won't her pa hev a fit, fer if there's one 
person on the face of the map Tom Larkin thinks is perfect, it's 
Estelle — mebbe he's got a right to think so fer they're as alike 
as two pins. Estelle never got that uppish disposition from my 
side of the family. But if I can make it up I won't open any 
more of her mail. 

Mary Ann. Here's a note fer yew, Mrs. Larkin. I faound it 
on my kitchen table. Looks like Estelle's writing. [EXIT d. l. 

Mrs. Larkin. I vow! (Reads) "Dear Ma, Me an' Mar- 
garet have*gone to the station. She's going to marry John and 
I'm going to Aunt Ella's. — Estelle." Well, did yew ever. The 
little minx. What will her pa say? (ENTER d. l. Mrs. Whit- 
man) Mrs. Whitman. 



10 Mary Ann. 

Mrs. Whitman. Yes? 

Mrs. Larkin. Read that! 

Mrs. Whitman. Well, for the— Mary Ann, Mary Ann. 

ENTER d. l. Mary Ann. 

Mary Ann. Yas'm. 

Mrs. Whitman. Margaret's gone. 

Mary Ann. Gone? Wal, I be jiggered! 

Mrs. Larkin. What be yew agoin' tew dew? 

Mrs. Whitman. What kin I dew? Nothin' tew dew ez I 
kin see. Oh, Margaret — Margaret. (Weeps) 

Mary Ann. Here, ma'am, don't take on so. It'll be all 
right 

ENTER d. r. Estelle and Margaret. 

Mrs. Whitman. Margaret! 

Margaret (runs to her). Oh, mother, I couldn't leave you, I 
couldn't do it, though I meant to. But I got to thinking how 
good and kind you were — and how worried you had seemed 
lately. Then I realized I was misjudging you when I thought 
you didn't want me to be happy so I came back. 

Mrs. Whitman. There's a lot to explain, but everythin' is 
all right now. Yew got a lot tew thank Mary Ann an' Jabe for, 
an' I got a lot tew explain, but when I tell yew all about it 
ye'll see I couldn't dew other from what I did dew an' now yew 
kin git merried and yew an' John kin stay right here on the old 
farm. 

Margaret. Oh, mother! (They sit on the couch and talk 
aside) 

Mrs. Larkin. Estelle, be yew a-comin' hum? 

Estelle. No, I ain't. 

Margaret. Estelle ! 

Estelle. No, I shan't an' I wont. 

Mrs. Larkin. Come, Estelle, I wont open any more of your 
letters — they ain't worth readin' anyhow. 

Estelle. They may not be worth readin' but I don't want 
everybody opening them on the sly. 

Mrs. Larkin. Oh come, child, dinner's ready an' yew kin 
keep your letters fer all o' me. 

Margaret. I'd go, Estelle. 

Estelle. Well, I will this time, but— — 

[EXEUNT d. r. Mrs. Larkin and Estelle. 



Mary Ann. 11 

Mary Ann (at window). Here comes Jabe naow. Jabe! 
Jabe ! Come on in. 

Mrs. Whitman. Yes, Mary Ann, dew. Yew jest go aout an' 
bring him in so't we kin all thank him an' goodness knows we 
hev cause to thank 

All. Jabe Dewberry and Mary Ann.

FARCES 



SURPRISES 

Farce in One Act. Two Males, Three Females 
By C. Leona Daleymple 
One interior scene. On the anniversary of Ruth's wedding day her 
mother arrives, unannounced, as a surprise for her. Her hushand 
plans to surprise her with the present of an Angora cat. The maid- 
servant conceals the mother in an adjoining room ; the hutler con- 
ceals the cat in the same room, and locks them both in. The result 
in both cases is unexpectedly surprising, and an imminent catastrophe 
is finally and most surprisingly averted. Plays thirty minutes. 
PRICE 15 CENTS 

A BACHELOR'S BABY 

Farce in One Act. Two Males, Two Females 

By Katharine Kavanaugh 

One Interior scene. An exceedingly comical sketch, depicting 

the woes of a struggling artist, on whose hands a baby is left while 

he is at the station awaiting his fiancee. Full of action from Start 

to finish. Sure to be a success. Plays about thirty minutes. 

PRICE 15 CENTS 

RELATIONS 

Farce in One Act. Three Males, One Female 
By George M. Rosener 
One interior scene. An inimitable sketch, full of rapid repartee 
and rollicking "Situations." Billie is a whole team in himself; his 
uncle and brother-in-law force the fun, but Billie comes out on top. 
The action is unflagging and irresistibly funny. Plays about twenty 
minutes. 

PRICE 15 CENTS 

TOO MANY HUSBANDS 

Farce in Two Acts. Eight Males, Four Females 
By Anthony E. Wills 
One interior scene. Arthur Maitland, living with Harry and 
Milly Brown, draws a regular allowance from his uncle, Col. Crane, 
upon the plea of being married. The colonel requests a picture ef 
the supposed wife, and Arthur, not having any ready at hand, for- 
wards that of Milly, without her knowledge. He thereupon suddenly 
announces an immediate visit expressly to make the acquaintance of 
Milly. After much persuasion Milly undertakes to assume for the 
few hours the character of Arthur's wife. The colonel arrives, and 
thereupon follows a series of situations, complications and climaxes, 
which make this farce one of the most laughable. All the charac- 
ters are good and strongly contrasted. Plays two hours. 
PRICE 25 CENTS 

A WHITE SHAWL 

Farce in Two Acts. Three Males, Three Females 
By C. Leona Dalrymple 
One interior scene. Costumes modern. A cleverly arranged " Com- 
edy of Errors," in which an elderly doctor's attempt at wooing a 
young girl already engaged — an old maid's efforts to secure a mate 
— and the strategy of two young men to defeat the doctor's aims all 
result in getting things tangled up in the most ludicrous manner. 
Woman's wit and a white shawl set matters right at last. Plays one 
and a half hours.
